I last research this a couple of years ago, and I really hope somebody can tell me I'm wrong here, but I think you'll run into a few things:
a) the serious software that is available is $$$$$ and assumes you are a major mobile phone carrier like T-Mobile or AT&T b) software that does not cost a truly ridiculous amount of money (LinkPlanner, etc) is designed for creating theoretical FCC Part 101 PTP links only and doesn't really handle sector antennas. c) software that can handle sector antennas and does what you want it to do will expect some sort of data files for radiation pattern envelope that are available for cellular radio sector antennas and radios, but has no idea how to deal with common 5.x GHz band WISP equipment. this software is intended for companies planning 3GPP/LTE based networks with monopole, tower and rooftop sites in urban areas but wasn't written for WISPs.
